Part of the problem is that too many Christian apologists see their primary
goal as "defending the Bible." It ought to be defending the Christian
faith - including belief that the God revealed in Jesus Christ is the
creator. This is not to deny the crucial role that the Bible must play in
that work or that truth claims have to be made for scripture. But one can
"defend the Bible" without a clear understanding of what its purpose is, and
thus get into all kinds of muddles about how to read it.
